Mozzarella making class with a cheesemaker in Martano
An hour and a half beside the cheesemaker, with your hands in the curd.
What you do
You have eaten mozzarella all your life, but making it is another story. In this workshop in Martano you stand next to the cheesemaker and work the curd together, until it takes the shape you know.
The cheesemaker shows you the moves, you give it a go. At first the curd will not do what you want, then you find the rhythm. It is work for your hands and your patience, and you soon see why experience counts.
The workshop lasts an hour and a half and runs Monday to Saturday at 2 pm. You need at least two people, so it is ideal for couples, friends or families.
By bike
The 2 pm start suits a day split in two. In the morning you ride my self-guided route, around midday you reach Martano, and early in the afternoon you are with the cheesemaker. The bike stays locked with the lock that comes with it.
Our bases for free pick-up and return are in Lecce, San Foca and Calimera. If you would rather have a day off the bike, the workshop works perfectly on its own.
